okay so let's do our ear now we're gonna use this chocolate and you're going to wrap and do your slip knot okay i want you to chain four one two three and four i want you to join at the beginning pull through and through now chain one i want you to do 12 single crochets in this center ring so there's two three four five six seven eight nine ten and schedule eleven and twelve and at any moment if i'm going too quick for some of us you can just stop the video you can pause it and pick back up okay so now we're going to slip stitch into that first single crochet just like this now i want you to chain one okay so in the next stitch we're going to do two the following will do one so now we have a pattern of two one two one okay so let's do that around and of course that means you're only increasing in every other stitch and we do this you don't want to increase in every stitch because you don't want this project to or this part of the project to buckle on you because then it will have too many stitches in the same vicinity or area and that causes it to buckle on you and you should always end in a uh in an increase sorry about that okay now what we're gonna do is we're going to join in our chain one okay now chain one and now we're going to go around again we're gonna put one one so the first one is your first then your second is going to have one stitch then the next one is going to have two so you're going to do one one and two okay one one and two one one two one one oops oh i'm gonna get it there we go two one one and if you did it correctly you'll end with a two okay now you you can stop here or you can go i think i'm going to make them a tad bigger this time i'm going to go one more okay so there's i did my one now what i want you to do i just want you to do one single all the way around okay so let's just uh single crochet all the way around let me back up a little bit here on my camera there we go now what you're gonna have to do is make two of these i'm not gonna go um make another one you have the pattern um all you need to do is re rewind my video okay go back to where we started the ear and just go from there you want to make two identical ears and then i'll show you the next part here on the ear and then that way you can go ahead and finish while you're at it alright so there's my ear what i'm going to do then is i'm going to skip one and i'm going to slip stitch into the second one just like this all right you want to my dog wants attention what you want to do is you want to cut that and then you draw through there all right then you want to sew in and like i say you use your tapestry needle you can use plastic you can use your metal needles or you can use your crochet hook it just depends what you're more comfortable with doing me i do both it to me it serves the same purpose as long as you get them sewn in okay and it's fine that this has a little curvature to it it makes it even easier to work with and what you need to do is trim up all your ends at this point now with my blue and you're going to do this on both ears so find my end here we go what i want you to do and this is a little different um you know and this is again my way of doing it most people will start the inner part with like pink or blue or white and then followed by the brown i wanted to do something different so what i'm going to do is make a slip knot with my blue or whether what other whichever other color you're using okay now i want you to see right here this row right here okay you can see that not the not this round part but this next row right here what i'm going to do i want to make it kind of like a 3d effect like on my other one where the ears actually the pink part stood up what i usually like to do there's an unused stitch right here okay it's on all of them what i'm going to do is i'm going to pull through and then i'm going to do a single crochet okay there's one on every one and if you can't see them you know just uh estimate about where it's at mine are kind of close together and then what you're going to do is you're just going to single crochet actually i'll tell you what'll be easier instead of work you guys working in the loops there's numerous ways you can do this let's do this let's do it around the posts okay see the posts right here you got those posts see them all through there let's do those around the post so make it simpler for you guys i get a little technical sometimes with my work and i i have to realize that sometimes it's hard others to see okay get your straggler there out of the way go under the next one and it's easier to bend it like this okay go all the way around your posts here and you can do it on any row it don't have to be the row that i'm doing it on you can do it further back okay and then what you're going to do is you're just going to keep going around you're going to single crochet around these posts and you'll find if you keep watching my videos and my channel i like to do things differently and there's no rules there's no do's and don'ts when it comes to making up your own work your own types of patterns your own designs your own little touch-ups there's not an incorrect to any of that so i do a lot of exploring okay so you just keep going around those posts right there and as i said you're gonna you're gonna continue to do this as i do my next video you're gonna do this all the way around so when you get back here you want to pull through and through okay you want to cut that off there and you'll pull it all the way through just like this okay and if i can get a hold of that now what you're going to do is grab these two right here and you'll just tie those off okay and then you'll just go back under here and you're just going to weave like you always do you know weave in about the first maybe five stitches or so whatever you're comfortable with okay you'll trim those right down okay and then that's going to give you your ear now what you want to do you want to do this twice okay so do that and i'll be back with you for the next video
